to reuse resources across tests.

- The end goal is to have a Python library that can be used as a VDDK replacement
to retrieve VMware disk contents.
- Integration tests under `tests/integration/` are a good starting point for

interacting with the VMware NBD / NFC APIs. They take a session-scoped
`lab` fixture from `tests/integration/conftest.py` (credentials and VM
settings in `tests.integration.base.LabEnv`). The fixture creates a
temporary empty VM for the pytest session. We can make use of
them to reverse engineer the VMware protocol, for example making various
calls, capturing the request and replies and then trying to determine the
structures used by the protocol.
